I normally run Puppy on a bootable USB drive and use LiLi USB Creator
http://old.linuxliveusb.com/ With this puplet(distro) I can create a bootable USB drive....but when it boots it take forever trying to find the save file(which of course is not there on the firt boot) and then times out.

Using a LiveCD that I burned from the iso I have the following problems:

Luci-239 brings up the xorgwizard command prompt but just loops & when I try Vesa it also brings me to a blank screen. There is the warning about deprecated the modconfig location and the first time something about mouseconfig being set to "5"._________________Thanks!

Puppy Carolina 1.3 & Lighthouse64-b602 & JL64-603

When I tried to open the /usr/share/examples/colorcir.ps, it wouldn't display in epdfviewer. xerrs.log revealed that libjbig2dec.so.0 was missing:
/usr/bin/gs: error while loading shared libraries: libjbig2dec.so.0:

"Luci-239 brings up the xorgwizard command prompt but just loops & when I try Vesa it also brings me to a blank screen. There is the warning about deprecated the modconfig location and the first time something about mouseconfig being set to "5".
"

That is what I see too but it goes away so fast that I recognized it now when you spelled it out.

But typical of me I fail to remember when I see it or at which puppy but it is rather often.
So maybe it is important. _________________I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

While I'm working of frugal installs on the test boxes I'm giving Insidious Puppy 001 a quick run live pfix=ram on my main Linux box.

Initial boot had working sound and no problem getting my desired 1440x900x24 resolution..........no network interface was detected though. Was able to use the Network Wizard and load the correct module so working now.

Manual frugal install of Insidious 001 on the P4 test box.Initial boot had working sound and internet as well as the correct screen resolution.Installed several pets from the Lucid repo and all are working fine.No real problems here.

There is problem with ppm repo update and repo visibility. Fixed problem I am sure.

Cups works with printing wirelessly to my HP1020. Previous small bugs fixed. I had same problems with acpitool -s, but after tests i got it working combining earlier acpitool-s from dpup and installing shinobars latest acpid. I also copied /etc/acpi from fluppy and installed pwireless2 to get full laptop support. Now my machine connects to net after wake up automatically.

I like the good selection of apps and little stripped down outlook. The selected apps are all working, no useless stuff.
I installed pupradio and it works with vlc fine. Lxtask, gtkhash and file-roller were good picks.

To change clock outcome, install PupClockset pet.

I think this should be locked down version and next step would be adding stuff to Insidious repo and test Lucid apps usability in Insidious because lucid guys have so many packages already collected. And also compile more apps in Insidious. I think this sid based dpup has potential to be LTS version

I remember someone wrote a guide for this that involves editing of some packages but I didn't do this for obvious reasons

Wow, you're right. I uploaded a new md5sums.txt. Thank you.

Thank you, fixed.

I think I might upload a "001.1" real soon, to fix PPM and this CUPS issue.

I also had an idea in mind - the "Packages-debian-*" files in /root/.packages consume 7.9 MB uncompressed, they're simply huge! Maybe I can build the ISO without those and without the "Packages-puppy-*" files._________________My homepageMy GitHub profile

Did a manual frugal install edited menu.lst and rebooted.
The distro booted very fast without a problem, initial screens worked ok but i noticed that the text was displayed in a higher resolution than i chose?, when desktop appeared it was the resolution i chose.
So far this is distro is looking to be a very stable and useable, will do a full install later and try to compile a few apps.
Good Work Iguleder, and i hope your army tour will not be to stressful.

tacao, there's a very nice pet made by radky, that lets you choose the time and date format.
See this thread.

If you want to do it manually, the "set 1" ( %l:%M %p ) in radky's post is the right parameter for 12h.am/pm.
It has to be pasted in /root/.jwmtray on the minixcal line near the end of the file. Replace "%H:%M" with it._________________Last edited by Bert on Mon 29 Nov 2010, 06:50; edited 1 time in total
